WELDING TECHNIQUES CONTENTS Infrared welding (IR)
In infrared welding (non contact heating element butt welding), the pipe components are heated without contact and with a constant distance between the heating element and the pipe components. After the pipe components are heated up and the heating element has been removed, they are welded under constant joining pressure.
Butt welding The welding faces of the parts to be joined are aligned under pressure onto the heating element (alignment). Then the parts are heated up to the welding temperature under reduced pressure (pre-heating) and joined under pressure after the heating element has been removed (joining).
Beadless welding (B)Beadless welding involves heating up the to be welded pipe components from the outside. A balloon is inflated inside the pipe for counter-pressure. The pipe components are welded under constant joining pressure, creating a beadless weld both inside and outside.
Electro fusion socket welding (EF)In this process the to be welded surfaces (pipe surface and inside of EF-socket) overlap. They are heated up to welding temperature with electric power using resistance wires (heating wires) positioned in the fitting and thereby welding them. For PVDF, AGRU offers the option of inserting a balloon inside so that the gap between the pipes is welded.
